not necessarily must be over RM500, if oversized they might stop it too

Whats the figure in the box?

I think you have the same Figure maybe that's y they retain it. I have similar issues too lately.

From my own personal experience, "Retention" with MY**** code means the package is already at your local post office...Most of my packages go through this (only 1 or 2 have skipped retention so far)...For EMS, its usually delivered to you within a day or two after,sometimes on the same day...So far, I've never been taxed...But I still have no idea what the retention is for...

I went down to LCCT last Friday.
They want me to open it up in front of them.
They ask me are you a reseller I said no. I explain to the custom officer I displayed one and Keep one in its box for investment.

Sign the paper and left LCCT

That's the reason I rather buy from local reseller.  Pay more like a boss to avoid all those hassles. 

Gone forever, they just send a letter telling him they confiscated the figure. He tried go nego but no avail...... 

one of mine (from NY) went thru customs without any prob yday, and shld be arriving on Monday 
however, the other one (from Amiami) still with customs since yday morning.... T_T if it got stuck, must be due to Amiami's stupid excessive shipping cost and extra large box.... 

can't get enough.... 

paid the tax, and got my Olivia No.2 from Amiami.
FXXKING HUGE BOX!!!

Dear all, Amiami does impose the sales tax (and its recent 3% increase) to international customers.

Nothing lasts forever my friend, no matter how well you maintain them they will break 1 day.
